This is a very special lens as we could sen on Maxim's photos. Not general purpose lens but good one.

I want to try it for B&W portraits besides doing some nature shots in
color.

This lens perhaps more better looking than on pictures, no scratches ,no fungus , aperture and focusing smooth. I saw only one negative a 2mm wide dust ring around front lens edge. As usual this dust more worst in this type of lens, my copy is worst than this. I am sure this is not impact picture quality at all. Hopefully you will love it, if not I will buy back Smile

Attila, I don't foresee any chance of you buying it back, these are very
hard to come by in the states. Wink I have the m42 bottom cap, what
size is the front cap?

Smile I bought without caps. I will try to look suitable ones in my box.

Very nice copy. Bill - I hope that you will be satisfied from results Smile Trioplan is a very specific lens - especially when wide open. Good for nature shots and portraits. Isn't good when someone want sharp and "neutral" lens. Size of front caps is ~51 mm, filter size - 49 mm.
BTW my Trioplan comes with both caps and original, factory box (still in good condition!)
Good night everybody Smile

Wow, I'm rather slack in the jaw! You guys are really quite a group of nice people. I didn't realize that Attila had "scoped" this lens for Bill, until I found the thread about it. That was extremely nice of you, Attila. In the spirit of that, please don't hesitate if you (or anyone else) need something from the U.S. that I might be able to purchase on your behalf.

The lens looks splendid. What a GREAT find! I'll be anxious to see some of the results, especially the "wide open" results that are always so singularly aesthetic from that particular glass formula.

Congratulations, Bill!

Laurence, thank you for your kind words and I'm tickled to death to receive this lens! Very Happy Cool

I, too, have offered my services to both Atilla and Orio, and would like
to extend that to anyone else living outside the United States.

Looking forward to trying the lens in certain settings. Smile

Bill

I tried to snipe one now, with a good offer, but someone beat me Sad

I guess we should start to talk about these lenses only privately Sad

This is Maxim's fault he made these such a nice sample, before this nobody would buy it...

Why? I absolutely love Greek mythology. It's one of my favourite things ever in life.

I learned reading all by myself on a child version of the Iliad and other myths when I was 5 years old, before going to school. I loved that book so very much that I obliged my mother to read it to me over and over again. After having heard it so many times, I learned it by heart, and one afternoon when my mother was not home I took the book to look at the images, and remembering the words of the book, I started to associate them to the printed words, and that's how I learned reading all by myself, on the Greek myths Smile When I entered school at 6, I was the only one who could already read Smile

So I hope you have visited us many times! Greece is a very nice place for taking photographs or at least it used to be before this summer's fires.

The current price is madness, and with days to go yet.

This is collectible quality price high from this reason, don't worry this lens frequently show up and most of the times not many people want to take it. I bought mine two yrs before I knew Bill's copy in the shop , nobody would buy in the last one year. I believe you able to take a less good looking copy around $50.
